It's a City of New Orleans thing. Lots of old mansions along Magazine, Prytania, St. Charles = weddings = second lines.

You can actually contact NOPD and they will permit and help you plan your own parade.

I had a full jazz band follow us around a few years ago as we got shithoused.

By the end of the night, I had a 4 NOPD officer escort and 10 people I didnt know following the core group around

It was tourists, but I doubt rondo and his crew would leave the scuttlebutt

The statue jokes are beyond ridiculous and stupid.

Such a grand old New Orleans tradition that started about 10 years ago.

One of the few things I still like about new Orleans is that at it's heart, nothing should stand in the way of a good time.

Nope, they block around my place regularly. Family Guy even made a reference to it.

We're all just blocking the street

Depending on your last name and how much money you have they would block off I-10 for you to do a 2nd Line.

I did this before Hannibal Burgess was famous. This was in 2006 or so.

I'm old.
